Any recommendations on books about biochar?

I recently read and enjoyed The Biochar Debate: Charcoal’s Potential to Reverse Climate Change and Build Soil Fertility by James Bruges. It’s a short read, slightly academic but not stuffy, and written with a sense of urgency. At the end he briefly talks about the CMF (Carbon Maintenance Fee) which I hadn’t heard of and is essentially a proposed strategy for financially incentivizing land-based carbon sequestration (reforestation, increasing soil carbon, etc). I would recommend this book to anyone interested in biochar or climate change.

What other biochar books do people like, and what do you like about them?

I haven't got an answer for you but I hate seeing thoughtful posts go unanswered too.

I must admit, I've never read a Biochar book. What I have consumed a lot of is scientific studies so I can glean how I can use it in my everyday life. There are so many out there, one wouldn't really run out of things to read.

Then, I might read a blog or two, and I'm sure there are videos and now podcasts with the same. When i was obsessing over biochar water treatment, this blog was good info: https://joshkearns.substack.com/
